(London, UK--June 11, 2012) In a move to significantly improve and expand its services, Burbank post-production facility FILMLOOK Media and Post has purchased a Baselight colour grading system from FilmLight. The new system, which includes FilmLight’s revolutionary Blackboard 2 control panel, allows FILMLOOK, for the first time, to provide its television clients, who include Disney Channel, Fox, CBS, ESPN and HBO, with colour grading services in a file-based workflow. It also allows the company to initiate a new service: DCP mastering for feature films.

“Baselight allows us to remain competitive in a market where clients are increasingly relying on file-based media to complete their projects,” said FILMLOOK CEO Robert Faber. “It also enables us to move into feature film mastering, a new market for us and one with great potential.”

Faber added that Baselight provides a path for future growth. “The system is upgradeable, allowing us to do 4K and beyond as our needs and customer demands grow,” he said.

FILMLOOK has a long tradition as an industry leader and innovator. Its Emmy-winning “FILMLOOK®” process, developed in 1987, set the standard for film-style mastering for many years. It also developed a patent for 24-frame progressive video cameras that have been licensed by SONY, THOMSON, PANASONIC, JVC, CANON, IKEGAMI, ARRI, HITACHI, ICONIX, NIKON and PENTAX. Currently, the company provides a full slate of post-production services, including colour grading, online and offline editorial, duplication, Blu-ray and DVD mastering, closed-captioning and quality control. Through an alliance with Sammy Sound, it also offers complete audio services.
